Moldova NATO Relations The first contacts of the Republic of Moldova with the North Atlantic Alliance were

e established after the countrys independence. On 20 December 1991 in Brussels was held the meeting of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC), created following the decision made at the Summit of the NATO Member States of Rome on 7-8 November 1991. The purpose of creating the NACC was to establish a permanent body for consultations between the former opponents about the primary European security issues. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova attended the first meeting of the NACC, thus our country became a Member State of this Council. On 6 January 1994, during the Summit of the North Atlantic Alliance, where was considered the American initiative "Partnership for Peace", Moldova has expressed the interest to join this program. On 16 March 1994 in Brussels, at NATO Headquarters, was held the first meeting of the President of the Republic of Moldova with the NATO Secretary General, followed by the signing of the "Partnership for Peace" Framework Document. On 29 May 1997 at Sintra (Portugal) took place the meeting of the NACC Foreign Ministers. Starting from the need to establish new relations with the cooperation partners, NATO proposed the transformation of the NACC into a more appropriate structure - the EuroAtlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). In order to coordinate more effectively the activities regarding NATO, on 16 December 1997 was established the Mission of the Republic of Moldova to NATO. The position of the Head of Mission is exercised by the Ambassador of Moldova to the Kingdom of Belgium. Also since 1997, Moldova has expanded its cooperation with NATO in the scientific area. The political dialogue has continued through the working visit of the President of the Republic of Moldova in Brussels (25-27 January 1998), in which the head of state had meetings with the NATO Secretary General and the WEU Secretary General. The working visit to Chisinau of the NATO Secretary General during 28-29 January 1998 constituted a new stage in the development of Moldova NATO relationships. The visit had several purposes, including the assessment of the cooperation prospects of the Republic of Moldova in the Partnership for Peace. Also important was the visit of the President V. Voronin at NATO Headquarters on 28 June 2001, where was signed the Memorandum of Understanding with NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) on cooperation in the logistical area. Following this memorandum, it was possible to create in 2002 a fund with special affectation, financed by NATO countries and intended for the destruction of a group of ammunition and anti-personnel mines with expired term equipping the National Army of Moldova, and a significant quantity of mlange rocket fuel. The project was implemented by the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA). Through this project was removed a huge ecological danger and were achieved before the deadline the basic provisions of the Ottawa Convention on banning anti-personnel mines, Moldova being among the first countries in the region which excluded this type of weapons from its arsenals. Another project on track for achieving with the financial support of the Alliance is the destruction of stocks of banned and unusable pesticides in Moldova. Since 2002, Moldova is a party to the South East Europe Security Cooperation Steering Group (SEEGROUP), part of the South East Europe Initiative (SEEI), which currently comprises 20 member states and 14 partner states.

A delegation led by the head of state attended on 28-29 June 2004 to the EAPC / NATO Summit in Istanbul. The Forum of the Alliance adopted a new strategy of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership based on refocusing and renewing, and gave priority of assistance to the countries implementing the Action Plans: Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP), Partnership Action Plan on Defense Institution Building (PAP-DIB), Partnership Action Plan against Terrorism (PAP - T), etc. The strategy contains positive references for Moldova. NATO's commitment towards cooperation with Moldova was reiterated in the Final Statement of the Summit of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) (p. 32). On 7 June 2005, the President of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, visited the Headquarters of the Alliance attending the meetings of the NAC. Within this, it was declared our intention to adopt an Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP). As a result, the Individual Partnership Action Plan Moldova - NATO, which marks a qualitatively new stage of cooperation between the two parties, was adopted by the North Atlantic Council on 19 May and, respectively, by the Government of Moldova on 24 May 2006. This document sets a number of important goals, such as deepening of Moldovas cooperation with the European and Euro-Atlantic structures and institutions, promoting democratic reforms in various fields, reform and modernization of the defense and security areas, strengthening democratic control over armed forces, etc. On 3 April 2008, a delegation led by the Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin took part at the meeting of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council as Head of State and Government in the Summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Bucharest. On 30 October 2008, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO Secretary General, made a working visit to Chisinau. The Senior Official of the Alliance has had meetings with the President of Moldova, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration and the Minister of Defense. The program also included a lecture at the State University of Moldova and a visit to the NATO Information and Documentation Center. The review process of IPAP was launched in November 2009. Moreover, the National Commission for IPAP Implementation, presided by the Deputy Prime-minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration was also established. The members of Commission have acknowledged the need to update the provisions of the Action Plan and to adjust them to the existing realities. The final consolidated version of IPAP was approved by the Government of Moldova and also by NATO in August 2010. In the period 11-13 of May 2011, the NATO evaluation mission was in a visit to Moldova. The NATO officials had several meetings with the national experts from various ministries involved in the implementation of the IPAP, with the goal to assess the achievements and the encountered difficulties. On June 16-17, 2011, an EAPC meeting in the APAG format took place for the first time in Chisinau. More than 59 participants from the NATO member countries as well as partner countries participated at this event, largely assessed as being a successful one. On July 13, 2011 the North Atlantic Council (NAC) meeting in the 28 members + Republic of Moldova format took place in Bruxelles. A range of issues related to the implementation of the IPAP as well as the cooperation RM-NATO were discussed. The Moldovan delegation was lead by the Minister of Defence and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. At the meeting, NATO approved the Final evaluation Report 2010 on the IPAP implementation.

The Partnership for Peace (PfP) The PfP program, particularly timely and important initiative for the European security, especially for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that landed in a vacuum of security in early 90s, became accessible to the Republic of Moldova on 16 March 1994, after signing the Framework Document (link). The participation in the PfP offers to Moldova a real opportunity to strengthen its national security and defense capabilities. Thus, the PfP framework allows us to use the experience of military construction of NATO and partner countries in order to continuously improve our armed forces, the staff preparation, the language training for the officers of the National Army, provides access to information, statistics, sources of political, technical and financial support. A unique aspect is the acquaintance of Moldovan soldiers with the proceeding of peacekeeping operations. Moldovas accession to the PfP can be divided into several stages. The first is the signing, on 16 March 1994, of the Framework Document, Moldova becoming the 12th signatory country and the second of the CIS after Ukraine. The next stage is the drafting of the presentation document, under which in 1995 was developed the Individual Partnership Program (IPP), the last stage of accession. The IPP included the following areas of collaboration: control over armaments and disarmament, civil protection, prevention and resolution of crisis situations, joint planning and carrying out of peacekeeping operations, staff training and other aspects of military activity. To achieve and coordinate these activities, the Ministry of Defense of Moldova has delegated a liaison officer at the Partnership Coordination Cell (now, the Military Cooperation Division, MCD), based in Mons (Belgium). With the adoption of the IPAP, IPP areas of cooperation were subordinated to the structure of the Action Plan. Peacekeeping operations. In accordance with the Individual Partnership Program between the Republic of Moldova and NATO were undertaken a series of actions to prepare the participation of Moldovan military personnel to the UN peacekeeping operations. In recent years, several contingents of engineers of the National Army participated in the international humanitarian operation in Iraq. The Planning and Review Process (PARP) of the Partnership for Peace was started in order to increase the level of practical interoperability of partner countries, provide them with a methodology for identifying and evaluating military forces and capabilities. The essence of the process is establishing transparency, official and truthful information and mutual aid between the Alliance and partners in all aspects of security and defense fields, by achieving the goals of general interoperability. Moldova joined the PARP in 1997.

Scientific cooperation
Since 1997, Moldova expanded its cooperation with NATO in the scientific area. Thus, at that time NATO supported two projects of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, worth about 153 thousand U.S. dollars, on the access of the Academy of Sciences to the Internet, and its further development. In 1999 with the financial support of NATO was completed the project of creating the information network of the Academy of Sciences. Alliance also provided financial support for the "The Information Network of the Polytechnic Community project, developed by the Academy of Sciences and the Polytechnic University of Moldova. With the help of NATO, in June was created the RENAM Association, which has an educational-information purpose.

Scientific researchers from Moldova have been granted scholarships in Italy, Canada and other countries. Also in the scientific dimension were achieved with the support of the Alliance some projects related to environmental security. One of these relates to the water management in the Prut and Nistru rivers, which consists in establishing a mechanism to continuously testing the level of pollution of the two rivers and alert if this level would exceed the critical parameters.

On 7 November 2006 was held the conference to launch the Project, involving the leadership of Moldova and NATO officials. Also, it was held the official opening ceremony of the Laboratory for

identification of unknown pesticides, for the creation of which NATO has offered to Moldova a grant of 143 thousand euro. Phase I of the project being undertaken, at present efforts are being made to mobilize the assistance of member countries to implement the Phase II of the Project. Relaiile Republica Moldova NATO Primele contacte ale Republicii Moldova cu Aliana Nord-Atlantic au fost stabilite dup declararea independenei rii. La 20 decembrie 1991, la Bruxelles, a avut loc reuniunea Consiliului de Cooperare Nord-Atlantic (CCNA), creat n urma hotrrii reuniunii la nivel nalt a rilor membre ale NATO de la Roma din 7-8 noiembrie 1991. Scopul crerii CCNA a fost de a institui un organism permanent de consultri ntre adversarii de alt dat n problemele primordiale de securitate european. La prima reuniune CCNA a participat Ministrul Afacerilor Externe al Republicii Moldova, ara noastr devenind astfel stat membru al acestui Consiliu. La 6 ianuarie 1994, cu ocazia reuniunii la nivel nalt a Alianei Nord-Atlantice, la care a fost examinat iniiativa american "Parteneriatul pentru Pace", Republica Moldova i-a exprimat interesul de a adera la acest Program. La 16 martie 1994, la Bruxelles, la Cartierul General NATO, a avut loc prima ntrevedere a Preedintelui Republicii Moldova cu Secretarul General NATO urmat de semnarea Documentului-cadru al Programului "Parteneriatul pentru Pace". La 29 mai 1997, la Sintra (Portugalia) a avut loc reuniunea CCNA n formatul Minitrilor de Externe. Pornind de la necesitatea stabilirii unor relaii noi cu partenerii de cooperare, NATO a propus transformarea CCNA ntr-o structur mai adecvat Consiliul Parteneriatului EuroAtlantic (CPEA). n vederea coordonrii ct mai eficiente a activitilor pe linia NATO, la 16 decembrie 1997 a fost instituit Misiunea Republicii Moldova pe lng NATO. Funcia de ef al Misiunii este exercitat de ambasadorul Republicii Moldova n Regatul Belgiei. Tot din anul 1997, RM i-a extins colaborarea cu NATO i n domeniul tiinific. Dialogul politic a continuat prin vizita de lucru a Preedintelui RM la Bruxelles (25-27 ianuarie 1998), n cadrul creia eful statului a avut ntrevederi cu Secretarul General NATO i cu Secretarul General UEO. Vizita de lucru la Chiinu a Secretarului General NATO n perioada 28-29 ianuarie 1998 a constituit o nou etap n dezvoltarea raporturilor RM NATO. Vizita a avut mai multe scopuri, printre care i evaluarea perspectivelor colaborrii Republicii Moldova n cadrul Parteneriatului pentru Pace. Important a fost vizita Preedintelui V. Voronin la Cartierul General NATO la 28 iunie 2001, unde a fost semnat Memorandumul de nelegere cu Organizaia NATO pentru Meninere i Aprovizionare (NAMSO) privind cooperarea n domeniul logistic. Urmare acestui Memorandum, a fost posibil crearea n anul 2002aunui Fond de afectare special, finanat de rile membre NATO i destinat distrugerii unui lot de mine antipersonal i muniii cu termen expirat din dotarea Armatei Naionale a RM, precum i a unei cantiti importante de combustibil rachetar de tip melanj. Proiectul a fost implementat de Agenia NATO pentru Meninere i Aprovizionare tehnic (NAMSA). Graie acestui proiect, a fost

eliminat un pericol ecologic de proporii i realizate, nainte de termen, prevederile de baz ale Conveniei de la Ottawa cu privire la interzicerea minelor antipersonal, Republica Moldova fiind printre primele state din regiune care a exclus acest tip de arme din arsenalele sale. Un alt proiect pe cale de realizare cu suportul financiar al Alianei este i cel al distrugerii stocurilor de pesticide interzise i inutilizabile n Republica Moldova. ncepnd cu anul 2002, RM este parte la Grupul de Cooperare n domeniul Securitii n SudEstul Europei (SEEGROUP), parte a Iniiativei sud-est europene (SEEI) care ntrunete n prezent 20 state membre i 14 partenere. O delegaie condus de eful statului a participat la 28-29 iunie 2004 la Summit-ul CPEA/NATO de la Istanbul. Forul Alianei a adoptat o nou strategie a Parteneriatului EuroAtlantic axat pe recentrare i renoire acordnd prioritate asistenei rilor ce implementeaz Planurile de aciuni: individuale (IPAP), privind crearea instituiilor de aprare (PAP-DIB), de combatere a terorismului (PAP-T) etc. Strategia conine referine favorabile la RM. Angajamentul NATO vizavi de cooperarea cu RM a fost reiterat n textul Comunicatului final al summit-ului Consiliului Nord-Atlantic (NAC) (p. 32). La 7 iunie 2005, Preedintele Republicii Moldova Vladimir Voronin a vizitat Cartierul General al Alianei participnd la reuniunea NAC. n cadrul acesteia, a fost declarat intenia rii noastre de a adopta un Plan individual de Aciuni al Parteneriatului (IPAP). Drept urmare, Planul Individual de Aciuni al Parteneriatului Republica Moldova NATO, care marcheaz o etap calitativ nou n cooperarea dintre cele dou pri, a fost adoptat de ctre Consiliul Nord-Atlantic al Alianei la 19 mai i, respectiv, de Guvernul Republicii Moldova la 24 mai 2006. Acest document fixeaz un ir de obiective importante, precum aprofundarea cooperrii RM cu structurile i instituiile europene i euroatlantice, promovarea reformelor democratice n diverse domenii, reformarea i modernizarea sectorului de securitate i aprare, consolidarea controlului democratic asupra forelor armate etc. La 3 aprilie 2008, o delegaie condus de Preedintele Republicii Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, a participat la lucrrile Consiliului Parteneriatului Euro-Atlantic n formatul efilor de stat i de guvern n cadrul Summit-ului Organizaiei Tratatului Atlanticului de Nord de la Bucureti. La 30 octombrie 2008, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, Secretar General NATO, a efectuat o vizit de lucru la Chiinu. naltul demnitar al Alianei a avut ntrevederi cu Preedintele RM, Viceprim-ministrul, Ministrul Afacerilor Externe i Integrrii Europene i Ministrul Aprrii. Programul a mai cuprins o prelegere la Universitatea de Stat din Moldova i o vizit la Centrul de informare i documentare NATO. Actualizarea IPAP a fost iniiat n noiembrie 2009, fiind instituit Comisia Naional pentru implementarea IPAP prezidat de Viceprim-ministru, Ministrul Afacerilor Externe i Integrrii Europene. Membrii Comisiei au convenit asupra necesitii actualizrii IPAP din perspectiva realitilor existente. Versiunea actualizat a IPAP a intrat n vigoare pe 20 august 2010, urmare a adoptrii acesteia de ctre Guvernul RM i aprobrii tacite de ctre Aliai. n perioada 11-13 mai 2011, la Chiinu, a avut loc misiunea de evaluare, n cadrul creia un grup de experi NATO a ntreprins vizite de documentare la instituiile naionale responsabile de implementarea IPAP, n vederea evalurii rezultatelor obinute, n perioada aprilie 2010 aprilie 2011, n domeniile de competen. n perioada 16-17 iunie 2011, la Chiinu s-a desfurat reuniunea Consiliului Parteneriatului Euro-Atlantic n formatul sesiunii Grupului Consultativ pentru Politic Atlantic (EAPC/APAG) care a reunit 59 de delegai din partea Secretariatului NATO, misiunilor rilor membre i partenere i statele membre ale EAPC. Un astfel de eveniment a avut loc

pentru prima dat n Moldova, fiind apreciat efortul rii noastre (inclusiv sub aspect financiar) i reuniunea calificat drept fiind de succes de ctre statele participante. La 13 iulie 2011 Consiliul Alianei Nord-Atlantice (NAC) s-a convocat n formatul 28 + Republica Moldova, pentru a desfura consultri multilaterale privind aspectele implementrii Planului IPAP. Delegaia moldovean la reuniunea n cauz a fost condus de ctre Ministrul Aprrii i Vice-ministrul Afacerilor Externe i Integrrii Europene. Ulterior, folosind procedura tacit, NATO a adoptat Raportul final de evaluare a progresului implementrii IPAP-ului de ctre Republica Moldova.

Parteneriatul pentru Pace (PpP) Programul PpP, iniiativ deosebit de oportun i important pentru securitatea european, n special pentru rile Europei Centrale i Orientale care se pomeniser ntr-un vid de securitate la nceputul anilor 90, a devenit accesibil Republicii Moldova din 16 martie 1994, dup semnarea Documentului cadru(link!!). Participarea la PpP i ofer RM o real posibilitate de a-i consolida securitatea naional i capacitile de aprare. Astfel, cadrul PpP ne permite s utilizm experiena construciei militare a rilor NATO i partenere n scopul perfecionrii permanente a propriilor Fore Armate, pregtirii cadrelor, instruirii lingvistice a ofierilor Armatei Naionale, asigur accesul la informaii, statistic, surse de ajutor politic, tehnic i financiar. Un aspect aparte l constituie familiarizarea militarilor moldoveni cu modalitatea organizrii operaiunilor de meninere a pcii. Aderarea RM la PpP poate fi divizat n cteva etape. Prima o constituie semnarea, la 16 martie 1994, a Documentului cadru, RM devenind a 12-a ar semnatar i a II-a din CSI dup Ucraina. Urmeaz etapa redactrii documentului de prezentare, n baza cruia, n 1995, a fost elaborat Programul Individual de Parteneriat (PIP), ultima etap a aderrii. PIP coninea urmtoarele domenii de colaborare: controlul asupra armamentelor i dezarmrii, protecia civil, prevenirea i soluionarea situaiilor de criz, planificarea i desfurarea n comun a operaiunilor de meninere a pcii, pregtirea cadrelor i alte aspecte de activitate militar. n vederea realizrii i coordonrii acestor activiti, Ministerul Aprrii al RM a delegat un ofier de legtur la Celula de Coordonare a Parteneriatului (n prezent Diviziunea Cooperare militar, MCD), cu sediul la Mons (Belgia). Odat cu adoptarea IPAP, domeniile de cooperare IPP au fost subordonate structurii Planului de Aciuni. Operaiunile de meninere a pcii. n conformitate cu programul Individual de Parteneriat ntre Republica Moldova i NATO au fost ntreprinse o serie de aciuni n vederea pregtirii participrii militarilor moldoveni la operaiunile ONU de meninere a pcii. n ultimii ani, mai multe contingente de geniti ai Armatei Naionale au participat la operaiunea internaional umanitar din Irak. Procesul de Planificare i Analiz (PARP) a Parteneriatului pentru Pace a fost iniiat n scopul sporirii nivelului de interoperabilitate practic a rilor partenere, asigurrii lor cu o baz metodologic n vederea identificrii i evalurii forelor i capacitilor militare. Esena procesului const n stabilirea transparenei, informarea oficial i veridic, precum i acordarea de ajutor reciproc dintre Alian i parteneri n toate aspectele ce in de domeniile securitii i aprrii, prin atingerea obiectivelor de interoperabilitate general. RM a aderat la PARP n 1997.

Cooperarea n domeniul tiinific

Din anul 1997, RM i-a extins colaborarea cu NATO i n domeniul tiinific. Astfel, din acea perioad NATO a susinut dou proiecte ale Academiei de tiine a Moldovei n valoare de aproximativ 153 mii dolari SUA cu privire la accesul Academiei de tiine la reeaua INTERNET, precum i la dezvoltarea ulterioar a acesteia. n anul 1999, a fost finalizat cu sprijinul financiar al NATO proiectul de creare a reelei informaionale a Academiei de tiine. Susinerea financiar a Alianei a obinut-o i proiectul Reeaua informaional a Comunitii Politehnice, elaborat de Academia de tiine i Universitatea Politehnic din Moldova. Cu concursul NATO, n luna iunie a fost creat asociaia RENAM care are o orientare educativinformaional. Cercettori tiinifici din Moldova au obinut burse n Italia, Canada i n alte ri. Tot n cadrul dimensiunii tiinifice au fost realizate cu sprijinul financiar al Alianei unele proiecte ce in de securitatea mediului ambiant. Unul dintre acestea se refer la managementul apelor rurilor Nistru i Prut care const n instituirea unui mecanism de testare continu a nivelului de poluare a celor dou ruri i de alert n cazul n care acest nivel ar depi parametrii critici.
